Why the Cubs signed Justin Turner

This is a smaller move that could have a much bigger impact. The Athletic’s Sahadev Sharma and Patrick Mooney break down where the 40-year-old fits in the lineup, how his postseason experience can influence the clubhouse and why Cubs players are so excited about the addition.

And before you know it, Shota Imanaga and Justin Steele will be pitching in the Tokyo Series.
